What lovely pics: he looks a picture of peace & contentment.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #38 on:** June 22, 2009, 09:34:11 AM »

He is gorgeous, and very relaxed looking indeed....

He's "The Golden Cat" !

He looks like he's smiling in the third photo

Well I had a horrid migraine yesterday and spent most of the day in bed with Woody. He is such a perfect little soul and didn't complain or mither. He has found the imple delight of falling asleep in a ray of sun

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #34 on:** June 21, 2009, 07:42:20 AM »

How's the lovely Woody doing? Do hope his tum has settled down now. Sending a gentle hug for him.

And one for Katie, in case she's still being chased!

JackSpratt · « **Reply #33 on:** June 19, 2009, 10:00:14 AM »

At least he's still got his cattitude about him then! Hope intros go OK when you decide it's safe.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #32 on:** June 19, 2009, 07:18:16 AM »

So, nothing's holding him back then?!

Poor Katie.

Hope his tum's a bit more settled today.

wharfevalley catsprotection · « **Reply #31 on:** June 18, 2009, 20:47:41 PM »

Hey!

He's OK, but still battling with the food!

He did a good solid poo in the tray in during the night, but then threw up and had a little bit of diareah (sp!) in the morning so it's just trying to work out what's going through ok - I think it might actually be the Whiskars which i'd left down for him during the day.

He got out of the room and had a massive spat with Katie though - he was the one chasing her... think we'll take intorducing them to each other VERY slowly!!!!!

How's the lovely boy doing?

Just popping by with a gentle chin tickle for Woody this morning.

Thanks - i'm just giving him little meals over the day and Liz who looks after the fosterers has just come with some Science Hills ID wet and dry as they vets say it may be an intolerance s we'll keep him on this nd see if things improve! He's kept down 1 and a half pouches today and so fingers crossed!

Also the change of environment can also upset their tums initially, very often this happens, lots of small but easily digestible nutritious foods are ideal, glad he has kept something down.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #27 on:** June 18, 2009, 08:00:10 AM »

Aww, bless him. I am sure he will gain weight quickly, and I would try and split his food up into as many portions as poss, I had to do that iwth my current foster when she first came, she got about 8 meals a day!! If his bloods came back normal, something like SEB or LActoB might also help with his upset tum.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #24 on:** June 17, 2009, 19:54:04 PM »

What food are you giving him? And how often, when they are that thin and hungry the stomach just cant cope with rich food, lots of little meals of bland food would be best, id opt for wet over dry as when it swells there may no longer be enough room in there!
RC sensitivity is more convenient than cooking chicken every day and seems to be tasty.
If it doesnt clear up then id ask for a sample to be checked out, before katy meets him too!

I too think it looks like a burn as where it's beginning to heal it's scarring over like a burn rather than a cut.

I wonder if he's rubbed his head up against a hot car/motorbike exhaust when he was looking for shelter? He'll have cute fluff growing back in no time...

clarenmax · « **Reply #22 on:** June 17, 2009, 16:17:39 PM »

He's a babe, give his poorly head a gentle kiss from me and Max

Oh the poor thing. Hope he heals soon.

Oh my word, bless the little fella. Hope he makes a speedy recovery, such an adorable lil face too.

I luffs him and just pray that Katie accepts him in the coming weeks...

May those prayers be granted.

We just don't know what's happened to his head. It certainly hasn't been done by the gentleman as the other cats are in a better condition and been brushed regularly etc. I too think it looks like a burn as where it's beginning to heal it's scarring over like a burn rather than a cut.

He's not bothered by it at all and doesn't scratch orm cry if we touch it to clean it. I did come home to find bits of flaked off skin on the bedsheets, but it's more where he's been rolling over for tummy fusses and he's knocking it - bless him!

This little one is gorgeous. What a beautiful face. That wound on his head makes me wince. How on earth has that happened?

(isn't it crazy how they get to our hearts like this?!)

I reckon that noboddy has experience real love until they have felt cat love!

Very true.

Smoke who was adopted from a seedy rescue (we didn't know till later) is the one we know nothing of her backstory and every time she jumps on my lap I get a little teary eyed. (except the time she jumped into my dinner thinking my lap was clear)

His tummy will calm down, remember when changing cat food you have to do it slowly and add to that him not getting enough food....

Just make sure he doesn't gobble everything down or he'll just keep throwing up (one of my cats had this issue all her life).

wharfevalley catsprotection · « **Reply #13 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:32:21 PM »

Thanks you guys!

I've only fostered twice before and they were lively, full of health kittens and so I worry loads about him - his tummy will settle won't it? His bloods and everything came back OK and he's a purr and cuddle monster...

... i'm already falling for his charms and just want to explain that i'll make it OK and he never has to worry about food or shelter again (isn't it crazy how they get to our hearts like this?!)

Baggy · « **Reply #12 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:27:32 PM »

Ouch, that head looks sore. He's got lovely pointy ears though! Hope his tum settles soon.

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #11 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:21:56 PM »

Aww he's absolutly adorable!

Give him some fuss from us!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #10 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:09:51 PM »

Poor baby, Im sure it wont be long until this is all just a distant memory for him and his friends!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #9 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:02:13 PM »

What an angel

Hope he enjoys fattening himself up on lots of yummy food

I hate to think of animals going hungry in this day and age

JackSpratt · « **Reply #8 on:** June 17, 2009, 11:36:06 AM »

Awww, I

Bob. What a sweetie!! Hope he's less "bob" and has a bit more meat on his bones soon.

What a lovely lad, that wound looks like a burn bless him.

Im sure that now he is with you and getting all the TLC he deserves he will soon put on the weight and be fighting fit

Den · « **Reply #6 on:** June 17, 2009, 11:11:18 AM »

Oh he is simply gorgeous

He looks like a Woody.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #5 on:** June 17, 2009, 11:00:04 AM »

love the pale ginger ones particularly

he is going to be ~~very~~ even more handsome when you've fattened him up

Topsy Turvey · « **Reply #4 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:30:05 AM »

Poor little boy. Hope he gets well soon. That looks like a burn on his head

wharfevalley catsprotection · « **Reply #3 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:27:35 AM »

We've had to leave 3 there, but the guys sister will call in to check. As I say he's a lovely man and we've given him help until we can take them all in. The others are all together in a huge foster room and Joy, a grey and white female has given birth to 4 kits and Suzie has just given birth to 4 as well - phew!

He looks tiny, but they're all small cats and hopefully just some TLC and he'll be OK. He's the quietest of the group and was getting picked on lots so he's been moved here as it's nice and quiet (even my own cat Katie who is a little madam seems to understand and has kept away from him).

I think he may be a keeper

Janeyk · « **Reply #2 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:04:46 AM »

Oh lordy!!

the poor mite, he doesn't look that old either. Are the other all with fosterers too?

Hope he soon builds up enough to digest more food.

wharfevalley catsprotection · « **Reply #1 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:52:45 AM »

Well this little one is Woody or Bob (my fiancee calls him this for Bag Of Bones!) He was found along with around 7 other cats in a home where the gentleman has learning difficulties and has severly been taken advantage of by people in the community who have dumped their cats on him! They're some of the friendliest and lovely cats and he's really tried his best, but there's just not been enough food or care for them and Woody has suffered the worst... He's 5 and weighs 2.5kg and needs to put on around another 2kg. He's throwing up or having the runs with whatever I give him at the moment, but never stops purring or cuddling up to me. We don't know where the wound on his head is from, but he may always be a little bald!!!
